Using Our Brains: What Cognitive Science Teaches About Teaching Law Students To Be Ethical, Professionally Responsible Lawyers, Alan M. Lerner Mar 2004

Using Our Brains: What Cognitive Science Teaches About Teaching Law Students To Be Ethical, Professionally Responsible Lawyers, Alan M. Lerner

ExpressO

Throughout our lives, below the level of our consciousness, each of us develops powerful values, intuitions, expectations, and needs that powerfully affect both our perceptions and our judgments. Placed in situations in which we feel threatened, or which implicate our values, our brains, relying on those implicitly learned, emotionally weighted, memories, can "downshift," to primitive, self-protective problem solving techniques - fight or flight. Because these processes operate below the radar of our consciousness, we react without reflection or the opportunity for interdiction. Thus, it may be that automatic, “emotional” reaction, rather than thoughtful, reasoned analysis leads to our responses to …

Pro Bono In Times Of Crisis: Looking Forward By Looking Back, Deborah Rhode Jan 2004

Pro Bono In Times Of Crisis: Looking Forward By Looking Back, Deborah Rhode

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Thousands of lawyers donated their time in response to the crisis of 9/11, but many did not. A remaining challenge is to ensure that the vast majority of the legal profession views public service as an essential professional responsibility. This essay examines previous studies on the pro bono contributions of those in the legal profession and how the findings of those studies show what motivations and sustains lawyers' public service. Specifically, this essay examines pro bono legal assistance in response to the 9/11 crisis. The author explains that it is essential to give law students a sense of obligation in …

The Process For Becoming A Law School Professor In The United States, Daniel H. Foote Jan 2004

The Process For Becoming A Law School Professor In The United States, Daniel H. Foote

Articles

As the process of legal education reform in Japan, centered on the establishment of a new tier of professional graduate schools in law, moves forward, one issue that has arisen is how law professors will be trained in coming years. In that connection, I am frequently asked what the typical route is for training law school professors in the US. Based in part on an examination of the backgrounds prior to entering law teaching for over 500 law professors at eight US law schools and on personal experiences (including serving for three years on the appointments committee at the University …

Learning Business Law By Doing It: Real Transactions In Law School Clinics, Eric J. Gouvin Jan 2004

Learning Business Law By Doing It: Real Transactions In Law School Clinics, Eric J. Gouvin

Faculty Scholarship

This Article discusses the business clinic movement and how legal educators view them as being an excellent vehicle for inculcating the values and practices that business lawyers hold dear. Business clinics may help students better appreciate the challenges of business lawyering, which they sometimes misunderstand as merely a forms practice. The Author believes that by putting students in the middle of real transactions, they gain a deeper understanding of the subtleties of making a transaction come together.

Toward Mythos And Mythology: Applying A Feminist Critique To Legal Education To Effectuate A Socialization Of Both Sexes In Law School Classrooms, Pollybeth Proctor Jan 2004

Toward Mythos And Mythology: Applying A Feminist Critique To Legal Education To Effectuate A Socialization Of Both Sexes In Law School Classrooms, Pollybeth Proctor

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article critiques the current state of legal education and the legal profession, arguing that they suffer from a decline in ethical standards, public service, and empathy. It proposes a feminist-inspired reform agenda to address these issues by incorporating values such as collaboration, context, emotions, ethics, and empathy into legal training. The analysis highlights the limitations of traditional teaching methods, particularly the Socratic method, which fosters an adversarial and narrow approach to legal reasoning. The article advocates for a balanced approach that integrates both rational and emotional intelligence to prepare holistic practitioners who prioritize justice and service.

It's Not All In My Head: The Harm Of Rape And The Prison Litigation Reform Act, Deborah M. Golden Jan 2004

It's Not All In My Head: The Harm Of Rape And The Prison Litigation Reform Act, Deborah M. Golden

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA)'s requirement of a physical injury for prisoners to seek damages for mental or emotional harm creates a significant barrier for rape victims, particularly women, in pursuing justice. The author advocates for amending the PLRA to explicitly recognize rape as a compensable injury, ensuring that victims can seek redress without unnecessary procedural hurdles.

Walking The Clinical Tightrope: Enhancing The Role Of Teacher, Jane H. Aiken Jan 2004

Walking The Clinical Tightrope: Enhancing The Role Of Teacher, Jane H. Aiken

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The University of Maryland School of Law is celebrating thirty years of providing exceptional clinical education. Such occasions offer unique opportunities to reflect. In thirty years there has been a lot of growth and a lot of change. Some say that the change has detoured us from the ultimate goal of client service and access to justice. I say that the thirty years have changed us for the better. One thing that hasn't changed is that clinicians still have an abiding interest in dealing with social injustices and in playing a proactive role in ensuring a just society. Thirty years …

Five Years Later: Reconsidering The Original Aba Report On Mdp, Sydney M. Cone Iii. Jan 2004

Five Years Later: Reconsidering The Original Aba Report On Mdp, Sydney M. Cone Iii.

Articles & Chapters

Reconsidering the original report issued in 1999 by the ABA Commission on Multidisciplinary Practice, this essay suggests that that report properly attempted to deal with questions of legal ethics that might arise if the practice of law by lawyers were integrated into an enterprise in which nonlawyers had a significant degree of ultimate control, but that the commission, perhaps because of undue time pressure, neglected to pursue these questions deeply enough. This essay suggests that more was needed than a proposed mechanism for self-certification of compliance with rules of legal ethics, coupled with possible review of compliance. The "more" that …

Teaching And Doing: The Role Of Law School Clinics In Enhancing Access To Justice, Jane H. Aiken, Stephen Wizner

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This Essay revisits the issue of the role that law school clinics can, and should play, in expanding access to justice. To do so we need to cast a critical eye on what we do, who we are, what we have become, and whether we need to rediscover, redefine, and reimagine our professional role as law school clinical teachers.

Deconstructing Teresa O’Brien: A Role Play For Domestic Violence Clinics, Leigh Goodmark, Catherine F. Klein

Scholarly Articles

In this article, we will present and examine the role play that we have used with our students. We will provide the actual text of the role play, with an explanatory narrative about how we integrated the role play into our classroom component. We will outline the reading assignments and pre-class preparation that we require. Finally, we will suggest ways that this role play can be adapted for clinical programs in other jurisdictions or in countries with other legal systems.

Clients As Teachers, Jane H. Aiken

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

I am deeply honored to have been selected to hold the William Van Cleve Chair. After the announcement several months ago, I have had the pleasure of having people tell me just how wonderful a man Bill Van Cleve was and how lucky I am to have this chair in honor of him. The picture that I have gotten of this man is truly that of the lawyer statesman. He took his profession very seriously. He approached his work with dedication and passion but, more significantly, he loved his profession in the broadest sense. He understood that the practice of …
